What New Users Need to Know About OpenOffice.org (Linux Journal)

[Posted July 14, 2005 by cook]

Linux Journal's Bruce Byfield looks at some pitfalls that new users of OpenOffice.org are likely to encounter. "The question is worth asking. Any large piece of software has its own ways of doing things, and OpenOffice.org is no exception. In fact, because of its history and its design assumption that users are at least as interested in designing documents as in writing them, OpenOffice.org needs more orientation than most. OOo is not difficult to learn, but if you approach it expecting it to behave exactly like another office suite, especially MS Office, you are setting yourself up for frustration."
